Harley-Davidson Touring description

1975 Harley Davidson FLH, 1200cc, 74 cubic inch.  The second owner purchased this motorcycle in 1994.  He rode the motorcycle, painted it, added chrome parts, and stored the motorcycle in his family room for over 20 years.  He commented that he purchased the bike from the original owner.  Apparently, the original owner fell off of the bike within the first few hundred miles and then stored the bike until 1994.  I purchased the bike in August of 2015 from the second owner.  The second owner believes the mileage to be original.

I rode the bike about 3 miles.  The engine has good torque, sounds good, and runs smooth.  As seen in the pictures, most of the parts are original.  In the case that this is a true low mile bike, I do not want to tick the odometer past the 1,000 mile mark, and I do not have proper storage for such a nice motorcycle.  As seen in the pictures, this is a super clean and nicely detailed motorcycle.  This motorcycle is a perfect candidate to return to factory FLH form and specifications.  Some of the original parts have been exchanged with chrome parts.

Parts like the brake calipers and hoses, frame, Bendix carburetor, air filter housing, nose cone, gas tanks, handle bars, fenders, inner and outer primary, lights, nacelle, wheels, dashboard, wiring, rectifier, etc. are original.  There aren't many Shovelheads on the road still being charged by the original rectifier.  Although the solo seat is not original, the condition of it is excellent.  The seat T bushings and pin are new.  The battery and rear master cylinder are less than 1 year old.

Please use the zoom-in function on the engine pictures.  In my experience, it looks like the engine and transmission have never been apart.  Cases, cylinders, cylinder heads, rocker boxes, etc. look untouched.

This is a numbers matching motorcycle which comes with a clear Illinois title.  It is a used motorcycle.  No test drives.

Currently, I am in Germany and can only be contacted by email.  I return to the states on July 2nd.  If you would like to see the motorcycle in the meanwhile, this possibly could be arranged.

Email questions or call 630 440 9825 (Kurt).

Milwaukee’s The Iron Horse Hotel

Tue, 19 May 2009

Historically speaking, the kinds of places that have openly accepted or invited motorcycle enthusiasts and their bikes were lacking in a number of areas. While they may have been convenient and offered motorcycle-friendly amenities, they did so with little comfort or luxury. On the other hand, accommodations on the higher end of the spectrum were pretentious and inconvenient for storing bikes and gear.
